For better or for worse, Python applications like Mercurial are
currently considered an integrated part of Linux distros and hence
subject to the usual de-duplication rules (like not embedding their
own Python interpreter, and relying on shared system libraries when
appropriate). And yes, this does cause problems (but not integrating
them causes major security update management problems).

Cheers,
Nick.
